Steps

In a mixing bowl, combine corn kernels, diced mushrooms, oatmeal, egg, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Take spoonfuls of the mixture and drop it onto the skillet, flattening it slightly to form fritters.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Corn and Mushroom Oatmeal Fritters

Keep the fritters small so the centers cook through before the outsides become too dark.
The mixture should hold together when spooned; if it seems loose, let the oats sit in it briefly to absorb moisture.
Look for crisp, golden edges and a set center; overcrowding the pan can make the fritters pale and soft.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry cider
Its bright, lightly fruity character complements the sweet corn and savory mushrooms without weighing down the fritters.

0% option: Sparkling apple juice

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the outside may be less crisp than when freshly cooked.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the fritters are cooked through?

They should be golden on both sides, with a firm, set center rather than a wet or loose interior.

Why are my fritters falling apart?

The mixture may be too loose or the fritters may be too large. Letting the oats absorb moisture briefly and making smaller fritters can help them hold together.

Can I make the mixture ahead?

For the best texture, cook the fritters soon after mixing. The oats continue absorbing moisture if the mixture sits, so check its consistency before cooking.
